Foreword: First edition

Welcome to our first edition of Focus on Oil & Gas, our new magazine for the industry. With so much going on in an ever-changing market, it has never been a more exciting time for businesses in the sector.

The idea to develop a new digital magazine is part of our ongoing commitment to clients, to have regular communication with you, and give you easy access to our wealth of experience in industry issues. By connecting and sharing our many insights, views and opinions, we aim to be close to our clients and respond to the needs of your business.

In this issue, we are delighted to have Sylvia Pfeifer, special correspondent from the Financial Times, interviewing some key industry experts to get their valuable insight into hot issues. I am pleased to share with you our exclusive interview with Dev Sanyal, BP’s Executive Vice President and Group Chief of Staff, in which he discusses BP in today’s world and what the company are seeing in the market. We talk to Beth Mitchell, co-author of the Chatham House report What Next For The Oil And Gas Industry? With many years of fund management experience, Beth gives a shareholder perspective on current industry challenges, along with Professor Paul Stevens, Distinguished Fellow, Energy, Environment and Resources at Chatham House, who gives his expert opinion on the global shale gas situation.

I hope you find this a useful and interesting read. We are always interested in hearing feedback from the industry and we are keen to interview clients, so would be happy to hear from you for future editions.
